Welcome, New Readers!

Yesterday, PZ Myers over at Pharyngula posted an entry with a link to my post on Why I Am Not Polite. And just like that - shazam! - blog traffic here tripled. Oh Mighty PZ, Zuska salutes you!

So, a hearty welcome to all you new readers, and I hope you'll stick around to join in the fun. Check out the "About" tab above if you want to get a quick overview of this blog. Or just browse about. Or whatever. It's just nice to see you here along with the regular crew, and thanks for adding so vigorously to the discussions!

Speaking of PZ, if you need a real laugh for today, go on over to his place and check out Was This A Parody? I don't know how PZ has the time to find all this good stuff. I mean, he actually has to teach and grade papers and all of that, too. Anyway, you have to laugh once in awhile about the ID/creationist Schoolhouse Crusaders For Christ, or else you'll cry. And this bit will certainly make you laugh. I think. Go see!

The kerfuffle over the Bayblab incident has produced no end of discussion here and elsewhere. Hilariously, this included a lengthy discussion of why they see ScienceBlogs as cliquish, conducted entirely in the private back-channel forum that nobody else can read. Irony: it's like gold-y and bronze-…
I keep getting asked: why should I participate in blog carnivals? The Wikipedia page about blog carnivals is not really accurate (it includes things that are not carnivals), and also suffers from overzealous, obsessive-compulsive, self-important administrators (who have probably never seen a…
Well, I am back from the Science Blogging Conference, exhilarated and exhausted! After months of preparation, and last few days of frantic last-minute work, the Big Day has come and I could finally relax and enjoy myself. And enjoy it I did! I hope the others did as well. First order of duty:…

If you weren't so angry all the time, you'd probably have even more readers. ... Just kidding!

Congrats on the increased traffic.
